Our story

A place where Christmas magic lives all year round

Elves Hotels sits right inside Santa Claus Village, on the Arctic Circle — Santa's official home is only about 300 metres away. Our hotel tells the story of Santa Claus Village and the elves who live here, weaving Lapland's magic into your stay, whether you visit for Christmas, the northern lights or the midnight sun of summer.

Behind us stands the local Insider Visit family, who manage over 500 hotel rooms and apartments. We know the northern seasons, the conditions and what our guests need — and we help you experience Lapland like a local.
